Round up of Newsy Links

While I want to stay informed and not just turn a blind eye because I’m privileged enough to do so… I’ve had to take a step back the last few weeks for self care. With all that’s been going on in the US with the ICE, the Muslim ban, the detention of immigrants and separation of families at the border, and all that’s going on with the Supreme Court… I just needed a little space. It’s been making me feel so hopeless and helpless. Maybe some of you feel the same way? How do you stay knowledgeable while maintaining your own well-being? This has been why I haven’t been posting link round-ups. I thought now was the time to jump back in, and hopefully I’ll be able to maintain my mental health at the same time.
